Our paper investigates the intertwined relation among transparency, civic capital and political accountability in a large sample of Italian municipalities using a new indicator of institutional transparency. Firstly, we test the hypothesis that civic capital affects transparency of public administrations; secondly, we verify whether in municipalities where civic capital is high, citizens’ attention toward government accountability is also high, making it politically unfeasible to disregard the demand for transparency. We find that civic capital positively affects transparency and the latter, in turn, is politically rewarding for the local administrators only conditional to the level of civic capital. Our findings are robust to different samples and endogeneity concerns.

透明度,公民资本和政治责任:一种良性关系?

本文使用制度透明性的新指标,对大量意大利城市的透明度,公民资本和政治责任之间的相互关系进行了研究。首先,我们检验了公民资本影响公共行政透明度的假设。其次,我们验证在公民资本较高的城市中,公民对政府问责制的关注度是否也很高,从而在政治上不顾透明度要求是不可行的。我们发现,公民资本对透明度具有积极影响,而透明度反过来又在政治上奖励了以公民资本水平为条件的地方行政管理人员。我们的发现对于不同的样本和内生性的关注是有力的。
